2026 Chevrolet Trax 2RS: Douglaston Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Chevrolet Trax 2RS
2RS is the sport flagship of the 2026 Trax lineup, starting at $25,400 MSRP (excludes the $1,795 destination charge). It pairs the 11-inch HD touchscreen and driver information display with 19-inch gloss-black wheels — the largest Trax offers — a gloss-black grille and mirror caps, black roof rails, and red interior accents. 2RS is also where blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control become available, a bundle exclusive to 2RS and ACTIV.
The sportiest look, plus real driver-assist hardware
2RS is where the RS styling story finishes. Where 1RS layers RS badging over the base LS equipment level, 2RS pairs that same blacked-out treatment — gloss-black grille, mirror caps, and roof rails — with 19-inch gloss-black wheels, the largest wheel Chevrolet offers on the Trax, and red accent stitching on the seats and shifter. Underneath, it's the same 137-hp turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive as every other Trax; the drivetrain doesn't change with trim.
What does change at 2RS is the driver-assist hardware: blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control all arrive here, a bundle you can't get on LS, 1RS, or LT at any price. For merging onto the Cross Island Parkway from Douglaston or holding a set following distance on the LIE, that's meaningfully more capable equipment than the trims below it, not just a styling upgrade.
2RS versus ACTIV
2RS and ACTIV start at the identical $25,400 MSRP and share the same 11-inch touchscreen, driver info display, and blind-spot/adaptive-cruise bundle. The difference is entirely styling: 2RS goes blacked-out and sporty with 19-inch gloss-black wheels and red accents; ACTIV goes rugged-look with silver roof rails and all-terrain-style body cladding. Neither is more capable off pavement than the other — both are front-wheel drive, same as every 2026 Trax. See the Trax ACTIV guide for the side-by-side.

Frequently asked questions: 2026 Trax 2RS
What's the difference between the Trax 1RS and 2RS?
1RS applies RS styling to the base LS equipment level (8-inch touchscreen, no driver info display, no adaptive-cruise bundle) at $23,200. 2RS pairs the same RS design language with the 11-inch touchscreen, driver info display, 19-inch wheels, and the blind-spot/adaptive-cruise bundle at $25,400. They share a name and a look, not an equipment tier.
Does the 2RS come with adaptive cruise control?
Yes. 2RS and ACTIV are the only two 2026 Trax trims with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert available. LS, 1RS, and LT do not offer this bundle at any price.
Is the Trax 2RS all-wheel drive?
No. 2RS, like every 2026 Trax trim, is front-wheel drive only. Chevrolet does not offer an all-wheel-drive Trax on this generation, regardless of trim or styling package.
